No there just shouldn't be a thing as a "TLD". I should be able to register abc.ou8hurbaskjdbflubsaduf if I want to. Or just 8huasidvbsd with no domain. Only way to fight domain squatting and the stupidly overpriced domain hacks.

I think they're needed so your DNS resolver knows who to talk to. But I agree they're kind of useless from a user point of view.
